boxer: "the washington post" said about the murkowski amendment, "hobbling the e.p.a. isn't the right course. the correct response is to provide a better alternative," but obviously they're not in favor of overturning an endangerment finding. "the scranton times tribune," very important, i think editorial. there should be little debate on the premise that cleaner air is healthier. and i think that's really what we're saying. the scientists are saying, let's clean up the carbon and have healthier air. "the st. louis post dispatch" has a very, very good -- very good editorial here. and they also come out against this kind of a move by senator murkowski and big oil and big coal, and they feel this vote is a very, very important vote. so in summary, i would just say this: i don't want the american people to misunderstand what is before us in this resolution that will be coming up for a vote at a time determined by senator murkowski, as i understand it, under the rules. she is using the rules to be able to do this. i don't think the american people should be misled into thi

the health care bill being proposed in washington is broken by the bad deal -- by the back room deals. we need to start over. we have health care here in massachusetts. 98% of our people are already insured. we have done it. we do not need what is being pushed in washington on massachusetts, spending $500 million on medicare? we know we need to reform and that is something we're going to be doing very shortly. to think that we need of one size fits all plan from congress, coming down here and hurting what we have? that is one of the differences between martha coakley and i. at a time when we just do not needed. i would propose going and allowing states to do this individually with the government incentivizing it. we can export what we have done and show them how to do it. i am looking forward to be the party -- the 41st vote and get that plan back to the drawing board. >> thank you for hosting us here this evening. i would be proud to be the 60th vote to make sure that we need health care reform that was so badly need. we have taken the lead here in massachusetts, and now we are attac

all done here in washington. this morning congressman lamar smith, our colleague from texas, in a one-minute speech on the floor offered a series of lessons to be learned from yesterday's special senate election in massachusetts. he said, all true reform starts with a voice of the people. the people will not have a voice in a deficit commission established through an executive order. he also said that common sense triumphs partisanship. a commission through executive order negotiated by one party is the height of partisanship. the republican leadership in the house and senate have not been involved in this effort. he also said voters can exercise real independence. where is the voice of the people in a process that will not go beyond the beltway? in closing mr. smith correctly, i say correctly noted, that one party control leads to arrogance. we are seeing today an arrogance of power of our party that forecloses the minority from a seat at the table. to be fair, to be fair republicans were just as arrogant at tim
